carries expectation point talking
My expectation of him is to be a leader, and from everything I know about him, talking to him, he already is a leader. So that point is not going to change. The way he works, the way he carries himself, he's a leader. You talk about makeup, he's a 10.

It's not gonna wear on my patience. I expect our guys to be perfect but I understand they're not gonna be.
belong expect good guys job leagues mean next pitch step sure understand
A big part of my job is making sure these guys understand they belong in the big leagues and they can do it. That's going to be my message, that just because you're young doesn't mean you can't play. I expect you to do it just like you did in Double-A and Triple-A. It's the next step up, but if you make your pitch it's a good pitch.
expectation talking
My expectation for him is to be a leader. From everything I know, and from talking to him, he already is a leader. So I just want him to be himself. Don't try to do too much, because I'm not going to let him.

He was a different pitcher. He pitched much better. What we got from him was what we expected to get.

Just because you're young doesn't mean you can't play. I expect you to do it just like you did in Double-A and Triple-A. ... It'll be exciting. Don't underestimate these kids.

The winning teams I've been on, there's always been a clear-cut closer. I think that's important. But I guess we're going to play the hand we're dealt with and see what happens in the next three weeks.
daily lacks last might seen surprised teammates ways
I don't think Hanley lacks confidence. I think Hanley is not surprised that he made that play last night. Now, he might have surprised some of his teammates who haven't seen him play on a daily basis. But I don't think Hanley is surprised he made that play. He went a long ways over. I'm not surprised at what he does.
favorite team
That's my favorite part of the game. If the other team can't score, they can't win.
hit losses three winning
It's frustrating to be 1-4 because it could have been 4-1. And that's the frustrating part. It could have been 3-2, 2-3. Three of the losses you're one hit away from winning the game.
develops goes hopefully time
Hopefully someone develops into that as time goes on.

They are looking for a pitch to drive, and I'm not going to take it away from them. We have some guys who aren't capable of working the count yet.
learn lose situations type
I don't like to lose but if you're going to lose, we had a chance. They'll learn a lot in those type of situations and they'll learn because they're going to get a lot of chances.
guarantee
I can guarantee you that Miguel Cabrera will be in the lineup. Other than that, there aren't a whole lot of guarantees.
